Pet Tags

This is just a reminder to all pet owners to make sure that their pets have identification tags on their collars.

We came home from a wonderful family beach session on Monday night, only to find a young woman crying over a dog that she hit with her car on Three Mile, in front of the studio. It was a beautiful dog with a collar, but no tags. We had no way to find the owners. The police officer had to put the dog by the side of the road and hope that the owners found it.

Yesterday, the dog was gone. We are glad that someone found the dog, but so sad that the owners do not know what happened.

It is so sad when a pet escapes, but even more sad when something tragic happens and we do not know how to contact the owner.

Please have a tag with the pet's name, the owner's name and number and the vet's name. It will save much heartache later.

Lisa was beautiful and so easy to photograph!

Grogeous eyes and a great smile!

A natural at posing!

Brave enough to get in the chilly water of Mitchell Creek!

Thanks, Lisa. I cannot wait for you to see the rest!

Another great week

What a great week! We started on Sunday morning with three services at Bay Pointe Community Church. Nick Vujicic was an absolutely fantastic, incredible speaker. He had everyone laughing and crying and reevaluating our lives all at the same time. If you are ever near a venue where Nick will be speaking, run to get tickets! He is the best motivational speaker I have ever heard. Over 3200 attended the services and over 400 guests either came to know a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, or reaffirmed their lives to Christ. We came home exhausted, but energized at the same time! Go to his web site to see some of the things that Nick has done. www.lifewithoutlimbs.org

The Farm Markets have kept us hopping this week. We go to Glen Arbor on Tuesday, Leland and Elberta on Thursday, Northport, Elk Rapids and the Village at Grand Traverse Commons on Friday and Suttons Bay and Frankfort on Saturday. That leaves Monday and Wednesday for portrait sessions, so summer appointments are filling up fast.

We celebrated our eighth wedding anniversary on Tuesday with dinner at Sparky's Diner. They were so sweet to give us a hot fudge sundae to share. We drove up the Old Mission peninsula and took a romantic walk on the beach, shared a soda at the Old Mission General Store and visited the Old Mission Congregational church where we were married. It was great to get away and enjoy time together.

Back to work! We'll talk soon!
